Lupi served as a member of the municipal council of Milan from 1993 to 1997 and until 1996 he was vice president of the council.[3] He has been a member of the Italian parliament since the XIV legislative period or 2001.[1][3]

On 19 March 2015, Lupi announced that he would step down as minister the following day due to a scandal involving public works on infrastructure in which his name was cited several times.[10] His tenure as infrastructure and transport minister ended the next day when he resigned from the post, and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi accepted it.[11]
